Abstract:

Dynamic reconfiguration of component-based software has been attracting increasing research interests. It is important to ensure consistency while dynamically reconfiguring a distributed system. This paper proposes a consistency algorithm for dynamic reconfiguration of component-based distributed software based on the transaction and component quiescent state theory. The improved method adopts a waiting mechanism to properly ensure consistency of dynamic reconfiguration in the model. Practice shows that the algorithm is feasible.
